With Rhythm Mirror, Context Mirror, and Empathetic AI, tutors stay close to you and provide precise advice.

SomniQ Inc. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO Ritsutaka Sakaguchi) has expanded its 'Empatheme Eigo-mimi Trail' app for iOS and Android, built on patented technology that 'visualizes' voice, cognition, and behavior.

Along with new features to cultivate a 'Visible Voice,' the company has released 'Empathy Interface Personal,' which visualizes the entire practice process—revealing not just results but also the root causes.

This release also introduces new content media expansions born from voice visualization, including Eigo-mimi° Kids, Eigo-mimi° Music, Nihongo-mimi Trail, and Empallet.

Four New 'Visualization' Experiences Added:

1. Cultivating spoken phrases as 'seeds.' Flowers and fruits grow according to the accuracy of imitation.
2. 'emp' energy coins, earned through practice and used for Rhythm Mirror or personalized advice.
3. 'Mizu-yari Pot' (Watering Pot), through which personalized advice from a tutor is delivered just for you.
4. 'Empathy Interface Personal,' visualizing the entire practice process, including causes, not just results.

Users can now see their practice habits and the reasons why things weren't working—aspects that were previously invisible. Because they can see, they can do it. Because they can do it, it's fun. This enjoyment fosters continuity and drives improvement.

This is not mere visualization or a game-like app. It is a new form of English practice based on technology and data science specifically invented for training.

Empatheme is a system designed to invite, guide, and encourage users in their daily practice. It incorporates technology that visualizes voice and behavior like a mirror, data science that highlights change and improvement, and art (expression and techniques) that turns the experience into something to see, touch, and cultivate.

It is neither a learning app where one struggles without seeing results or causes, nor an app that only looks like a game on the surface. Without relying on text or knowledge, users progress by seeing and touching their own phrases while using native sounds and rhythms as benchmarks.

It is a practice where users realize the cognitive patterns unique to Japanese speakers, reduce their own habits, and experience the joy of acquisition.

Empatheme's 'visualization' is not just about making general practice visible. What becomes visible is your own voice, your specific habits, the flow of your change, and the causes of success or failure.

1. See the sounds you hear and the sounds you miss.
2. See your voice and behavior through colored particles and movement. See the flow of change.
3. See your entire practice, including results, process, and causes.
4. See the imitation accuracy and the process of growing your 'Visible Voice' seed.
5. See everything from your own reflections to interactions with your tutor.

These visualizations are achieved through a combination of Hearing Mirror, Rhythm Mirror, Context Mirror, Empathy Interface—all based on SomniQ's patented technologies—and 'KurageSan,' a support AI that kindly backs up the practice.

New Features to Cultivate Your Own Practice:

- 'Mizu-yari Pot' (Watering Pot) for pinpoint advice requests
'How can I say this better?' 'Why can't I hear this sound?' 'I think I'm right, but where's the difference?' Users can mark phrases they feel this way about with a 'Watering Pot' icon to request specific questions to a tutor. Based on your practice data, you will receive personalized feedback and words of encouragement rather than generic answers.

- 'emp' energy coins earned through repeated practice
By repeating the cycle of 'Imitate, Perform, Verify,' users accumulate 'emp' (Empathetic Moment by Practice). These are not groundless bonus points; they represent the energy of your actual practice visualized and connected to your next learning experience.
